Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ RDA [2]
Note: this page was created with music cataloging in mind.
Three new fields (336, 337, 338) collectively replace the general material designation (GMD) (245 ‡h): ° Content type (RDA 6.9; MARC 336) ° Media type (RDA 3.2; MARC 337) ° Carrier type (RDA 3.3; MARC 338) ° Examples

(6.9) Content type (MARC 336 [4]) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Content type is the form of communication through which the content is expressed and the human sense through which it is intended to be perceived. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6.9.1.2) Sources of Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Take information on content type from any source. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6.9.1.3) Recording content type | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Record the type of content contained in the resource using one or more of the terms listed in 6.9.1.3. [See music-specific content types below.] ° Record as many terms as are applicable to the resource being described. Record content type as a separate element, as part of an access point, or as both. If none of the terms listed in table 6.1 apply to the content of the resource being described, record other. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Content type is coded in the 336 field In bibliographic records: The form of communication through which a work is expressed. ° Used in conjunction with Leader /06 (Type of record), which indicates the general type of content of the resource. ° Enables expression of more specific content types and content types from various lists. In authority records: The form of communication through which a work is expressed ° Enables expression of content types from various lists when the authority record is for a title or name/title.
Sources: MARC 21 for bibliographic data [7] and authority data [4] If more than one term is appropriate, give each term in a separate 336 field OR use the term representing the predominant or most substantial content. Best practices for music cataloging [8]: If deemed useful for identification and access, record content type(s) associated with accompanying material that is described in 500 note. Audio/video carriers with substantial accompanying volume of text (insert, booklet, etc.): If a score contains significant textual matter (e.g., critical commentary, libretto, preface), give "text" in a separate 336 field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.2) Media type (MARC 337 [9]) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Media type is the general type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.2.1.2) Sources of Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use evidence presented by the resource itself (or on any accompanying material or container) as the basis for recording media type. If desired, take additional evidence from any source. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.2.1.3) Recording media type | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Record the media type using one or more of the terms listed in 3.1.2.3. [See music-specific media types below.]
Alternative: If the resource being described consists of more than one media type, record only If none of the terms listed in table 3.1 apply to the media of the resource being described, record other. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Media type is coded in the 337 field In bibliographic records: Media type reflects the general type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource. ° Used as an alternative to or in addition to the coded expression of Media type in field 007/00 (Category of material). ° Enables indication of more specific media types and media types from various lists.
Sources: MARC 21 for bibliographic data [9] (3.2.1.3) If more than one term is appropriate, record the media type that applies to the predominant part of the resource, or to the most predominant part of the resource, or to the most substantial parts of the resource Scores: use the term "unmediated" when the resource can be perceived directly through one or more of the human senses without the aid of an intermediating device. This will apply to books and notated music that can be read by the human eye. (3.2.1.3) Recording media type for: Best practices for music cataloging [11]: Follow LC-PCC PS. Record media type associated with the primary content of a resource in all cases. If feasible, record media type associated with any accompanying material that is described in 300 ‡e or in a separate 300, as follows. Record multiple instances of media type in separate 337 fields: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.3) Carrier type (MARC 338 [12]) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrier type is the format of the storage medium and housing of a carrier in combination with the type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.3.1.2) Sources of Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use evidence presented by the resource itself (or on any accompanying material or container) as the basis for recording carrier type. If desired, take additional evidence from any source. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3.3.1.3) Recording carrier type | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Record the type of carrier used to convey the content of the resource using one or more of the terms listed in 3.3.1.3. [See music-specific carrier types below.] ° Record as many terms as are applicable to the resource being described. Alternative: If the resource being described consists of more than one carrier type, record only If none of the terms listed apply to the carrier type(s) of the resource being described, record other. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrier type is coded in the 338 field In bibliographic records: The form of communication through which a work is expressed. ° Enables expression of content types from various lists when the authority is for a title or name/title.
Sources: MARC 21 for bibliographic data [12] If more than one term is appropriate, record the carrier type that applies to the predominant or most substantial parts of the resource Don't confuse carrier type with extent (MARC 300 ‡a), as they have some terms in common:
Best practices for music cataloging [16]: If feasible, record carrier type associated with any accompanying material that is described in 300 ‡e or in a separate 300, as follows. |
